Hey hey, itโ€™s caving season again!!

The plan: Imma be driving down to Bungonia late (leaving Sydney around 10pm) Saturday the 11th. But you do you.ย We will be starting the cave early-ish Sunday the 12th. Early like 9 or 10am. Expecting it to take around 8-10 hours, depending onb how fast we move/how far we get

Includes such features as: 8 hours of wiggling (too low to crawl), huge caverns (you can sit upright in some of them), sketchy down (then up) climbs, a couple of tight squeezes, black water to wade through, potential bad air, and, most importantly, (allegedly) AN ORANGE LAKE at the end

 

PACKING LIST:

  • Tent (ask to share with others)

  • Sleeping bag

  • Sleeping mat

  • Helmet

  • Head-torch

  • Back-up light

  • Spare batteries
  • Shoes to get dirty

  • Clothes to wear under cave suits (I usually go for just a t-shirt and leggings, BUT I have heard rumours that at the very end of this cave there is some NASTY blackish water to like wade through, so maybe like bring a thermal top/underwear as well, but up to you)

  • A little tiny backpack to get dirty and carry your water/lunch/spare batteries etc.
  • Knee/elbow pads (OPTIONAL but we’ll be crawling like forever so…)
  • Water bottle (theres drinkable water at the ranger station)
  • Breakfast/lunch/snacks (there are grills available)

CA$H for camping fees, petrol money for your driver, park entry fees etc

(In addition, I’ll bring some cave suits and a handline or two)

 

See you there xx
